"And what about the rest of his men." Princess Jeanne asked.

"Wang Liangchen like that? That's even more inexplicable. Guo Kang said: "Strictly speaking, he is a member of the Wangu tribe who have been culturally assimilated by the Jin State. ”

"I've heard of this tribe, what are their characteristics?" Jeanne said, "Aren't you Mongolians?" ”

"It's different." Guo Kang said: "In the Mongolian steppe, even if it is roughly divided, there are at least two groups of people: Tatar-speaking tribes in the east and Turkic-speaking tribes in the west. People like Naiman, Wangu, and possibly some of the Kereh can all fall into this category. Whether these people were Mongols or not, no one can tell. ”

"What did the Yuan Dynasty say about it themselves?" Princess Jeanne asked again: "Who are the Han and who are the Turks, are they not classified?" ”

"Where can the Yuan Dynasty understand this." Guo Kang complained: "From beginning to end, they can't even figure out who the Mongols are, so forget the rest." ”

"Tribes like Naiman and Wanggu, Jin thought they were Mongol tribes, but because they spoke Turkic, they had a special name of 'White Tatar', which was distinguished from the 'Black Tatar' of the Mongolian core later." "We all know that language is one of the main ways to distinguish peoples, but their languages are really different, and we don't know how to count them," he said. ”

"What about culture?" Princess Jeanne asked.

"Culturally more troublesome. These tribes were deeply influenced by the Jin State. For example, the leader of the Naman, 'Sun Khan', in fact, this title has nothing to do with the sun, it is a false voice of 'Great King'. Guo Kang replied.

"The state of Jin gave these grassland leaders who accepted Zhao'an a king's title to show their wooing. Maybe they think it's more high-end, so they like this kind of title very much. Including the king Khan of the Kerebu, the title also came from this. ”

"The Wangu tribe is even closer to the Kingdom of Jin than them. They are the tribe in the south, helping the Jin Kingdom to defend the border wall. Therefore, culturally influenced by the Jin people is very great. ”

"Then they're half-gold?" The princess asked.

"But the 'golden culture' and the nation do not match." Guo Kang pointed out the problem again: "The Jin Kingdom is a Jurchen country, but at this time, the mainstream culture of the Jin Kingdom is Han culture. Their cultural influence on the Mongols was also a Han cultural influence, not a Jurchen culture. ”

"So, if you look into it carefully, it is the Jurchen rulers who used the common methods of the Central Plains Dynasty to sinicize the half-Mongol and semi-Turkic people - you count how many elements there are."

"I've heard about the situation in Jinguo." Zhu Wenkui also interjected: "Later, they also set the capital of Bianliang, and at this time, the appearance of the court is similar to that of the Northern Song Dynasty." Even the emperor likes to write thin gold bodies. ”

"Is this deliberate, or is it a subtle influence?" Jeanne asked curiously.

"In terms of art, I really don't understand." Guo Kang shook his head: "But I heard that their attainments are really good. ”

It is said that there is an inscription written in thin gold font on the handed down "Female History Atlas", which has long been believed to be inscribed by Song Huizong. Later, some people carefully researched and found that it was actually imitated by Jin Zhangzong. ”

Moreover, he not only imitated the calligraphy of Song Huizong, but also copied his seal. The two seals of Song Huizong's "Zhenghe" and "Xuanhe" on the "Female History Atlas" were copied and then stamped by him, and they are not the authentic works of Song Huizong himself. But if he hasn't been recognized for so long, it can be seen that his skills are indeed superb. ”

"Actually, what I don't understand is why this is being imitated." Zhu Wenkui shook his head: "Isn't it Jingkang after Xuanhe, doesn't he feel unlucky?" ”

"Who knows, maybe he also likes the scene of Fengheng Yuda." Of course, Guo Kang didn't know.

"Actually, it's not surprising. Looking at the history, it is not difficult to find that the consistent characteristic of the Jurchens seems to be that they are corrupted extremely quickly. He thought for a moment and commented:

"Aguta, the first generation of the Jin Kingdom, insisted on not being hostile to the Northern Song Dynasty, and even left a testament not to start a war with the Northern Song Dynasty. So, going south started from the second generation. But it was this generation that began all sorts of civil strife - only half a generation, faster than the Mongols corrupted. ”

"We know the Southern Song Dynasty's policy of 'returning northerners to the north', in fact, the Jin State has also done 'southerners returning to the south'. Because at that time, the upper echelons of the Jin Kingdom, the two giants of Tart Lazy and Sticky Han were hostile to each other. The tart is lazy and shrewd, and he has been recruiting rebels in a planned way, and Liu Yu was recruited by him. He also contacted those who advocated surrender within the Song court, and tried to force the other side to surrender by bloodless. ”

But these exploits caused dissatisfaction among Muhan and others. At that time, Mu Han was in control of the newly occupied Central Plains, and the military power was the most prosperous, and Song Gaozong did not dare to call himself the emperor when he wrote to him, but only dared to sign "Song Kang Wang Gou". He believes that this is all his own credit. As a result, these Song people, who came to surrender, ran to the command of the tart lazy and strengthened his strength. ”

"Therefore, the sticky Han side simply took advantage of the peace treaty to forcibly send back a batch of tartland lazy subordinates and Southern Song Dynasty officials and generals who surrendered, resulting in the destruction of tartl's lazy business."

"And this person has an enmity with Qin Hui. Qin Hui originally took refuge in him, but because the tart was lazy and the conditions were better, he turned back halfway and went to others. Their relationship is so good that ...... It is rumored that the two share Qin Hui's wife, Wang. Guo Kang organized the language: "Anyway, it has reached this level. ”

"Sticky Han is jealous of Qin Hui for this. Unfortunately, their faction lost ground within a few years. Sticky Han himself died in a fit of rage, and most of his cronies were killed. Otherwise, according to the virtues of these people, sooner or later Qin Hui will have to be killed. ”

"From this point of view, these two sides are really indescribable......" Zhu Wenkui shook his head.

"Han Feizi" said, 'Two Yao can't be kings, and two Yao can't die together'." Guo Kang said: "If the two regimes are about the same size and have a fundamental conflict with each other, but they can only coexist and cannot eliminate each other, then it can only be said that their level is also about the same level." ”

"The Jin State is militarily stronger than the Southern Song Dynasty, but there is no qualitative change. After the fall of the sticky han, the tart lazy faction also lost its enterprising spirit. They formed a path dependence, in order to keep the theme of peace unwavering, so as to control the government, and even behind the back of the emperor and the imperial court, promised to cede the land of Henan and Shaanxi to the Southern Song Dynasty. ”

"This kind of behavior caused a lot of disgust within the Jin State, and finally Wushu staged a coup d'état, killed Tart Lazy and others, and purged these 'peace trench workers'."

"However, although it seems that the policy has changed course and made Dajin energetic again, but when it is their turn, they can't do it again - the biggest reputation of these main battle factions is to cooperate with Yue Fei and others to fight a series of well-known battles ......"

After that, Jin Guo tossed a few more times, and finally lost motivation. The imperial court was also content to enjoy the prosperity of Bianliang, and fell into a long-term state of comparison with the Southern Song Dynasty. I feel that they are a typical example of 'two can't die together'. ”

"Therefore, the Jin State in the middle and late stages is not even a matter of sinicization - he is a 'Songhua' country." Guo Kang spread his hands: "Study his cultural attributes carefully, that's it......"
